Sigh, waiting sucks. I keep thinking that I should do something productive but I've already kicked off enough things and all I can do about them is wait. Wait wait wait. Argh. Or maybe that's the Sunday evening doldrums (which is like the prelude to Monday and thus the worst time of the week) just making me restless.

So, what's cooking:
- Barge, of course. Jason from Jet told me that they'd ship him last Monday, I still haven't heard anything about shipping so I have no idea how long this'll take, I figure they forgot to add the correct number of chambers to the prototype and are building it again. And then comes the second stage where the real work for us starts with trying to gather orders and such...
- I've commissioned  SqueakLatex to make a suit out of Easy. Last I heard they were having trouble with their contacts towards China. And of course no response to questions about my queue status with them but I think that's just how they are, generally rather difficult to talk to.
- I've also commissioned  ScaleworxCreations to make a simple toy of this plant thingy that I've started calling Buddy (apologies if the pun makes you cringe). Takumori said it's on track for mid-June, I think that includes both the queue and production.
- Inflatable World have sent the angel dragoness renders to their factory in China. I think their next run of toys won't be until late this year but it's still good to hear that this popular design made the cut.
- I believe Plunderbird submitted his modified version of Raph to IW and got a positive response for the next run.
- The anthro skunk and the red fox were designed for people who planned to take them to IW but I don't think they actually went ahead with it.

So that's a lot of kettles that aren't boiling yet. I can't do anything to speed them along. So I sit here and come up with designs that just make the wait feel worse... And all these orders are already adding up to over 3000 USD. Wow, this is one expensive hobby. On the other hand being able to touch my designs was always one of my greatest wishes ever since I started out with this whole 3D stuff.
